A gene drive does not spread easily in populations of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor

Nicky R. Faber, Adriaan B. Meiborg, Gus R. McFarlane…·Brock A. Harpur

This study investigates the feasibility of using gene drive technology to control Varroa destructor mites, finding that fertility-targeting drives fail to spread but toxin or resistance-removing drives may be viable.
